The circumferential membrane and bending stresses at the edges of two identical elliptical holes in a circular cylindrical shell loaded by axial tension are computed by means of an integral equation method. Pairs of holes of which the center line is along a generator of the shell, along a directrix, or in a direction forming an angle of 45° with the generators are considered. For each of these hole configurations results are presented for a number of hole distances, hole sizes, and axis ratios.

The stress state around a rib reinforced elliptic hole in a circular cylindrical shell under axial tension at its ends is determined by perturbation in terms of a curvature parameter and the eccentricity of the elliptic hole. The reinforcing rib is assumed to be rectangular in cross section, and has extensional, flexural and torsional rigidities. Nondimensional membrane stresses and bending stresses around the hole are given for different values of E1/E1 where E1 and E are moduli of elasticity of the rib and the shell respectively. It is shown that the reinforcing rib substantially reduces the stress concentration around the hole.

A theoretical analysis is presented for the membrane and bending stresses around an elliptic hole in a long, thin, circular cylindrical shell with the major axis of the hole parallel to the axis of the shell. The analysis has been carried out for the case of axial tension. The method of solution involves a perturbation in a curvature parameter and the results obtained are valid, if the hole is small in size compared to the shell. Formulas, from which the complete stress distribution at the hole can be calculated, are presented.

AbstractThe essential aspects of the Boundary Integral Equation Method for the numerical solution of elliptic type boundary value problems are presented. A numerical example for a stress concentration problem in classical elasticity in three dimensions is given along with several examples for a class of scalar problems in elastic torsion of non-cylindrical bars. Some discussion and criticism of the method itself and in comparison with widely used field methods is also presented.
